BRIDGEPORT - Classmates of a Bridgeport High School student mourned his loss Saturday after he was killed in a crash on Route 25 in Trumbull Friday afternoon.

Police say 18-year-old Peter Tsiknis' 1998 Lexus crossed four lanes of traffic before crashing into a tree and bursting into flames. Investigators say Tsiknis was trapped inside the vehicle and died of his injuries at the scene.

"I was hoping that he was not awake when it happened to him, and that he didn't suffer, because it's terrible," Mike Chavez, Tiscanis' friend from Bridgeport, says.
